Pioneering Sustainable Urban Design
Since 1989, KCAP Architects&Planners focuses on realising sustainable urban neighbourhoods with a strong social coherence.
With the GWL Terrain in Amsterdam, they pioneered in designing a car-free living environment with communal facilities and urban farming.
In Hamburg they planned the flood-resilient Hafencity urban expansion, one of the largest brownfield developments in Europe, which received a TOD Gold Award.
More recently they lead the multi-disciplinary design team of the CO2-neutral FredericiaC project in Denmark. This transformation of a polluted former harbour area into a vital new city district includes themes like climate change adaptation, urban prosperity, energy efficiency, urban farming, participation, temporary landscape and social cohesion.
